Dr. Dowbak is great but disappointed with the staff at New Life

WORTH IT$5,100
I’m 6 days post op and only had a follow up 2 days after my surgery with a nurse who barely spoke English. If I was going to be treated like this I could have went to Columbia to see Dr. Plazas! Anyway I’m happy with my results just very disappointed with the staff. They will tell you to come after a certain time and have oh waiting for hours. No one wants to be sitting in a clinic ( or standing rather ) for hours while in pain and uncomfortable to do a follow up with your Dr. I’m also a bit concerned with the fact that when I got to the clinic at 7a 3 other ppl were signed in to have work done with my Dr. and me and 1 girl were called back together and when I woke up she was also waking up next to me and we were both being wheeled out one after another like our surgeries had been performed at the same damn time. I didn’t stay at a recovery house bc my family traveled with me and the recovery house New Life recommended had ended up being closed down for some reason. (Arnita’s Recovery House) I also found out that a young woman died there abt a month ago (Dr. Llorente patient) my husband told me abt it after the nurse wheeled me down to the car. He said he was getting worried bc I was back there so long and kept asking what was going on and if I was ok. Now he was exaggerating a bit bc I had only been bk there abt 2hrs but that can seem like a long time especially if while waiting you found out someone just died a month ago while undergoing the same procedure. You guys can and should google the information if you want to know more about the details. The surgery itself is not the scary part I think it’s the after care that’s most important bc you can make it out of surgery and have something internally goin on that you’re not even aware of which is why I’m so frustrated that I have not been able to see Dr. Dowbak in 6 days. I wa told she won’t be in tomorrow so that means I have to wait until Monday. Tuesday I fly out so they will have to make room on Monday. Oh yeah I forgot to mention....after waking p and leaving out they leave you with no verbal instructions just papers in your bag. They did not tell me I needed to come in the following day for Massages. When I got there Monday they told me i needed to start my massages on Sunday and told me they had no open availability on Monday for me to get a massage but it took me two hours to find that out bc the receptionist did not speak English and I got frustrated and contacted my coordinator Elena who and assisted me as soon as she could. She was a life saver! Any questions I will do my best to answer. I will upload pics soon.

Thank you so much for your review. I’m considering Dr.Dowbak for my procedure hopefully in January. I haven’t yet experienced first hand how unorganized their office is. Hopefully they get it together soon. Well wishes with your recovery!

Hey hun I'm scheduled to have my surgery 9/8 but have to have fmla papers filled out for my job but my coordinator stopped responding to me when i brought it up. Just curious did you have to have fmla papers for your procedure and did you get push back from dowbak's staff?

Thats what im trying to find out too. i want to schedule with her but i need to know what she put on the papers . Elena told me she doesnt no & she doesnt fill them out until the day of surgery.. trying to find out what the doctor put on FMLA is like a secret cult or something nobody wants to tell you anything but so many people are using it and getting approved... its crazy cause you want the surgery so bad but you also need your job to come back to after you recover.

I believe those are the papers you have to have filled out for your job so that you can leave or take time off

I’m schedule to have my surgery 9/6

I had surgery with dowbak in April & I had to get Fmla papers too, my coordinator lied & said she would fill them out basically just to get me off her back about it. When it came down to me having to get them turned in I was being ignored, then finally she responded & said they don’t do Fmla papers so I had to get my primary care doctor to fill them out, which made no sense!! Please anyone who is reading this do not go to New Life the staff is beyond unprofessional once they get your deposit all communication ends! My experience with them was HORRIBLE! Pls read my review before considering New life!

Family Medical Leave of Act...
Entitles eligible employees to take unpaid, job protected leave for specified family and medical reasons
If this Drs office is filling out FMLA papers for the person that’s getting plastic surgery that’s a No No...says a lot about the Dr and staff...I would run!

Hey I also was going to see plazas but I like dr dowbaks work... there’s just so many coordinators I don’t know which one to pick, some apparently don’t answer. It’s very disappointing to hear about the staff

I’m happy to hear you’re results are good. I’m frustrated for you with their service. How were your massages? We’re they painful? I’m considering Dr Duran for bbl. I’m worried about the after care as well

Congrats on getting your surgery doll!
Did Dowbak say why she did less incisions on your back? Normally she does a lot more (4-8 incisions)
